That's right. Instead of actually READING what God has said, many just ASSUME what He said, or what they've been told He said. Why not just read it for yourself? Reading things INTO Scripture is what gets Rome into trouble. You would think that a non-Catholic would run as fast as they could from doing the same thing, yet it happens all the time. Here is an example: How many of the same animal went onto the Ark? "DUH, TWO. One male and one female" would be the probable response. Except that isn't so. Gen. 7:2 tells us something different. "Of every CLEAN beast thou shalt take to thee BY SEVENS, the male and his female: and of the beasts that ARE NOT CLEAN by TWO, the male and his female."

And yet, everytime you see a painting of Noah's Ark, there they are marching up the plank two by two. No groups of seven. It doesn't seem like a big deal here, but just taking God's Word from someone else is how we get things so messed up. Instead of READING FOR OURSELVES IF THESE THINGS ARE SO.

I have to add there is a lot of assuming there are two Gospels in Acts. We do not have an account of Peter, James and others submitting to Paul. At the Jerusalem council all were unified in Peters proclamation that the Gentiles received Christ the same way they did.
